Understanding the theoretical foundations of modern cosmology and their application to relevant examples

Theoretical approach to Cosmology, with discussions and deepening of the course content by practise work.

Basic concepts, Robertson-Walker Metrik, distance scales, Friedmann equation and solutions, age & size of the Universe.

Early Universe: Thermodynamical aspects, Boltzmann equation, 'relics' of the Big Bang, inflationary models, 'dark energy'.

Matter in the Universe: 'Dark matter',  fluctuations in the microwave background, large-scale structure, structure formation.

Linear structure formation: Jeans equation, statistics of the cosmic density field, baryonic acoustic oscillations

Lecture with integrated exercises

Will be discussed during the first session
